I had sold my PS3 long time back when pre orders for the PS4 had just kicked up and I had registered my preorder with GAME4U but the price of PS4 really got to me.
After selling my PS3 and its games I have around Rs.22,000 from the sale and any extra money will have to come out of my pocket. Since the PS4 release I had put together a PC config on paper that seems good for 1080p gaming and its the moment of truth should I go ahead and assemble a new PC or should I just get a PS4.
It also has to be noted that PC games are cheaper not to mention Steam provides VFM deals.
Lets get to the config and prices:
Amd FX 8320 - 9700\-
Gigabyte GA-78LMT - 4250\-
Seasonic SS-750JS - 6150\-
Kingston HyperX DDR3 8 GB - 5250\-
MSI R9 270X HAWK - 17800\-
Seagate 2TB - 5710\-
PC Total Rs.48860\-
Now for the PS4 as all know the base price is Rs.40,000 but as I have seen first hand the 500GB is to less to install several games, COD ghosts eats up around 40-50GB in my friends PS4 and with patches it might go up even more. I have not yet taken the preorder amount from GAME4U and after discussing the same with them I got a call from their Delhi office and had a talk with Mr.Prakesh who game me an option to upgrade the HDD to a 1.5TB HDD for an extra Rs.7000 and taking the old 500GB HDD. So in effect the PS4 with 1.5TB would cost 47,000 with the ability to install around 15 games together.
PS4 with 1.5TB - 47000\-
If I have left any points do let me know but it sure is hard to decide among the two PS4 and PC both have their plus and negatives.
